perspective

Every now and again I come across something that helps me gain some new perspective.

This video helped me gain some today. Nicely done, sir!

Don't call it a resolution

I don't like making resolutions for the very reason that they are doomed to fail from the start. Although I think these are the things I'd like to change in 2010:

- Be a better friend
- Get a new tattoo
- Decide if I'm doing grad school or getting a job
- Get back into the dating scene
- Go to more baseball games this summer
- Volunteer somewhere
- Pick up some sort of physical activity (perhaps resume tennis again)

I"m not really sure how well I'll do at any of these things but those are the things I'd like to accomplish this year. I wonder what others are trying to do with themselves?

A first for me

So the other day I went downstairs to grab some dinner. Something happened that has never ever happened before. One of my younger brother's friends that was over visiting that I had never met caught my eye. My brother is 18, almost 19 now and in the past his friends were (a) too young and (b) mostly fuck ups (which I'm not really every attracted to at all. Anyway, I came into the kitchen and immediately was greeted with the whole butterflies in the stomach because he was so good looking kind of feeling. I think he knew what was going on, too because he kept giving me that look that you get when you know someone is checking you out. We have one of those refrigerators that has a filtered water spout inside of it and he was getting some water out of it and he definitely caught me checking out his ass when he did it. My brother has had some good looking friends now and then but this guy was completely utterly beautiful. First time for everything.
